Volunteering At The Shieling Project
There are lots of ways to volunteer at the Shieling Project. You can come during our volunteer days held during the week every month, or you can come to a volunteer weekend. If you really like it you can come and live at the project and support the staff delivering our residentials and holidays.
The directors of the project are volunteers, as are our advisors. So if you feel like you have skills that could help us run the Shieling Project please get in touch.
“Thanks again for a lovely day, it was great to help you complete the building of something that you will hopefully use for years to come!” – 2017 volunteer.
For more information on volunteering follow us on our social media, or look at our Calendar and News pages.

Who saw the segment on kilt making in last week's #countryfile? Did it surprise you to hear that hand-stitched kilt making has joined the endangered craft list with only around 20 professionals left in the whole of the UK?
The box pleat kilt is a design more akin to the original tailored kilt from the 1700’s. It uses less fabric and as such is lighter to wear than the standard 8 yard kilt. You can find out more about the history & craft of kilt making at our course upcoming course. Details below. https://t.co/pRq7oHP1zP
Looking for a slow adventure holiday where you can learn how to sew your own kilt? Join us at the Shieling Project from the 19th - 23rd September 2022 for a 5 day residential kilt making workshop where you will be immersed in the art and heritage of this ancient craft. https://t.co/F0hdiZeExm
